Director Alex de la Iglesia's look back to Spanish filmmaking of old centres on Carlos, a young boy on a mission to find the grandfather denied him by his mother.

Carlos's appearance restores some pride to Julian, but when Carlos's mother Laura finds out where he is, she decides to finally destroy the last remn

AGUIRRE - WRATH OF GOD (1972)

Certification15 Our Rating

1560, Peru. In a beautiful poetic opening scene the conquistadors cross an Andes pass, situated between the peaks and the valleys, between conquered land and unexplored forests, between 'heaven' and 'earth', shrouded in mists, they make their way down a narrow path. Aguirre's meglomania grows as around him his comrades mutiny and die in his search for the lost city of El Dorado. Herzog's best film, an unforgetable tour de force. Made before the director himself gave in to meglomania on a later t

ALICE'S RESTAURANT (1971)

Certification15 Our Rating

It's the height of hippiedom and this is the film which best captures the spirit of the era. A bitter sweet comedy about the lives of a group of people living in a converted church in New England. Don't let prejudices about hippies or 60s movies put you off. An excellent 'must see' classic film, based on the epic Arlo Guthrie song of the same name.

ANTICHRIST (2009)

Certification18 Our Rating

Let's be honest, you either love or hate cinema's infamous enfant terrible, Lars von Trier. Those of you who love him you will find ĎAntichrist' his most entertaining and beautifully orchestrated work to date. Layered, witty and wryly tongue-in-cheek at every turn, ĎAntichrist' is brutal, honest and intelligent in both its observation of human emotion and in its exploration of a life riddled with love, loss and psychosis. Those of you who hate him however (and for newcomers who aren't familiar w

BABYLON (1980)

Certification15 Our Rating

Set in South London at the start of the '80s, a time when reggae music was at its peak and racism was rife, we follow Blue, the lead singer for Ital Lion Sound, in the run-up to a Sound System competition. Over the course of the story we see Blue clash, not only with the police and racists, but also family and friends as his anger and frustration finally becomes too much to suppress. A powerful and gritty drama with, as you'd expect, a blinding soundtrack.

BAD BOY BUBBY (2007)

Certification15 Our Rating

A very weird little Aussie number, winner of the Grand Jury Special Prize at Venice. Bubby is 35-years-old but has never been outside the squalid flat where he lives incestuously with his grotesque mother... until the day his Pa returns to the nest. Tasteless and disturbing, but compulsive viewing.

BAD LIEUTENANT (1994)

Certification18 Our Rating

You've seen the trailer, and then you probably saw it again and then a year went by and you saw it again, but where was the film? At last the most trailered film in history, and wonderfully nasty it is too. Keitel is cop, junkie, thief gambler and hustler not looking for, but finding God. Great.
